People give more,
and they give more often,
when they're asked to give
by someone they know
and trust.

David Riley
Director of Social Fundraising
| | David is an experienced professional fundraiser for nonprofit organizations. Both professionally and in his volunteer involvements, David has helped many nonprofits develop their fundraising capacity. Grassroots Giving Group is a natural next step for David, and a chance to apply his knowledge of traditional forms of fundraising to GGG's clients, helping them grow their grassroots presence by applying a combination of traditional and new-media methodologies.
David believes strongly that traditional and new fundraising systems complement each other. He helps clients understand that in most cases they have the ability to excel in social fundraising, transferring knowledge and expertise to our clients so they can be in control of their own successful social fundraising systems. David is the author of GGG's Idea Book, a template of best practices in social fundraising that serves as a useful starting point for GGG's clients to build their own programs.
